Unwanted
Ch.3
All week, Ichigo has been avoiding me. He ignored me when I got out of that damned bed, and he slipped passed me at breakfast this morning. He must have been really embarrassed when he saw his father talking about him. I wonder if what Isshin said… could be considered as a confession? … Holy Crap… I didn't think that would ever be the case in my situation, but perhaps the ways of the world will turn in my favor for once.
Tomorrow, I have to go back to school, sadly. I really did like staying in that room, secluded with nothing but my thoughts. I also don't want to go back for the reasons of the gossip that will be probably be going around about me. Like "Did you hear about the Emo nerd?" or maybe even, "Do you think he tried to kill himself?" Dear God, it could be about anything with those idiots. I couldn't possibly see why they would waste their time picking on me when they should be picking on themselves. But, that's a little off topic I suppose…
"Uryu." I heard a voice call to me. I was sitting there at my desk, finishing up my absent assignments, when I was greeted by the beautiful boy I had fallen in love with. "Yes?" I said, my voice quivering the slightest bit, just making him smile. My heart melted into a pool of mush, his smile was just too warm. "Can I help you Ichigo?"
"If you don't mind, I would like to talk to you for a while, is that okay?" I could still hear the smile on his face. When I looked back up, a delicious shade of pink was graced on his cheeks, and I could have sworn, that was the first time, I've ever seen a gleam in someone's eye so brilliant, that I was almost blinded by its luminosity. I was utterly speechless. "Uryu? Are you okay?" he stammered, looking a little let down now. "No, I'll be alright." I felt a smile replace the thin lips that were my own. "So, may I?" he asked, pointing to the chair that was in front of my desk. I felt my smile grow just the slightest bit brighter. "Certainly."
He sat down, facing directly towards me, his auburn eyes just mesmerized me. "What do you need to talk about?" I questioned, my voice sounding quiet. I haven't talked to someone in God knows how long.
"Well, it's about what my dad said to you the other day, about what you guys were talking about."
Well, I certainly expected this, didn't I? He is going to deny everything, with a nervous smile. But, the thing, I kind of believed his dad, even if he were to deny the things that were probably spilled from his lips. Then again, I could be giving myself too much credit. His dad could have totally made that up.
Realizations dawned upon me. Isshin is an idiot, so he could have most defiantly made that up. Damn, I was feeling really good until I finally realized it. Stupid Isshin. My heart sank the slightest bit, until Ichigo uttered what I thought was just my ears deceiving me.
"Well, they were kind of true. I hope you don't mind." he smiled as if he were rubbing it in my face. "What?" I sounded as though I didn't believe him, because I honestly couldn't say I did for that moment. "I said, regretfully that that idiot got to tell you before I did that everything that he told you was true. I, really…. I-" he looked puzzled and a little frustrated, and then saw the expression on my face. A silent tear fell down my cheeks, in an instant; I was almost too shocked to say anything about it. A sob escaped my chest, and I shook harder than an earthquake. I was astonished at myself. Dear God, what is he thinking doing this to someone as feeble as I am? I just, can't bring myself to believe my ears anymore. I really do love him…
"Are…A-are you serious?" I sniveled pathetically. "Uryu…"he called lightly. "Yes?" I shuttered in delight as my name escaped his lips. He grabbed my hand in his and placed his other hand gingerly on my cheek, wiping the tears away. I felt the last brain cell that I tried to maintain, explode. "Uryu, do you even like me?" he looked deep into my eyes, I felt as violated as he looked deep into my soul. I couldn't suppress my thoughts anymore. I had to say this. "Y-yes. I like you very much."
I leaned my face unconsciously, as I felt all the grief of my life, wash away. The dark past I've had, had vanished in that instant. He was like, Heaven. And, I loved every second of it. "I guess I like you more than I should, huh?" I sighed, looking into his eyes for some kind of response. I got exactly what I was looking for, this bright sort of feeling the one you love can only appear to have.
At that moment, the bell rang, and the long day we've had at high school was over. We walked, almost too calmly and cautiously to our street where the house/hospital was. Then, with no one around, he slipped his fingers into the gaps between mine, and he whispered, "I am so glad we had that little talk. My smile lasted all night, and then the next day. What a, most sufficiently addressed as, blessing.
Maybe someone posted wanted posters around Karakura town, because I feel as if, I might have been found…
